Hello, I'm looking for some information on ICRC (Red Cross) vehicles in Germany and Poland in 1945 during the periods of liberation of the various forms of prisoner camps run by the Nazi government. Firstly, did the Red Cross use the "white angel" 6x6 trucks during this period? If so, does anyone know what markings these trucks would have? Would the cross with 'ICRC' by included on the top cover canvas? Secondly, were these larger trucks used to transport supplies AND people, or just the former? Does anyone know what the Red Cross CARS would look like too? And the appropriate markings? If anyone has any images of either the cars of the trucks, I would be very grateful to see! Thanks for help in advance

Hi all, Can anyone tell me how a 1942-3 Bedford truck would be marked up for British (land) army and/or the British Home Guard? If anyone has any good images showing these markings too, would love to see!! Thanks in advance, JB

Thank you! Please could you also confirm if the number relates to the squadron/group number, or the vehicle number? Thanks again.

Hello Everyone, Happy Friday! I am looking at WW2 RAF vehicle markings and specifically the marking on the front (driver’s side) fender as seen on the RAF Bedford Truck in the attachments. These markings seem to have typically consisted of a letter, followed by a slash and then followed by a number. I’ve attached a couple of examples that I have come across - does anyone happen to have any information about what these markings are referring to? Also, if I was on a fighter air base, does anyone know what this marking would look like? Would it be "F / *insert vehicle number*"? Thanks, J

Thank you so much!

Thank you all! Did the Orpo ever use civilian cars during the war? If so, does anyone have any images that shows as such? Thanks again.

You're not wrong!! Silly me. Thank you!

Hello everyone, I'm trying to pinpoint what kind of car would have been driven by the German Ordnungspolizei (or the Oper) during the Second World War. I've found a few images on the German archive which I've attached.. does anyone know what kind of car/truck these are? Many of these were taken in occupied territory, as I understand militarised Oper battalions were dispatched to newly occupied territory to enforce order. With this in mind, would we say these cars still accurate for Germany? What about Opel cars? Did the German Police use Opel? If so, do we know what models for 1943ish? Thanks!
